Mantar – ‘Ode to the Flame’ Vinyl
$23.97
Mantar, the German duo consisting of Hanno on guitars and vocals and Erinc on drums, unleashed their powerful sophomore album, ‘Ode to the Flame,’ in 2016. Combining elements of black metal, doom, and punk, the band creates a raw, primal sound that belies their minimalistic lineup.
From the outset, ‘Ode to the Flame’ immerses the listener in Mantar’s chaotic world, with the opening track ‘Carnal Rising’ exploding with fierce guitar riffs, pounding drums, and Hanno’s anguished howls. The album maintains this relentless energy throughout, as tracks like ‘Praise the Plague’ and ‘Era Borealis’ showcase the band’s ability to seamlessly blend black metal, doom, and punk influences into a cohesive and gripping sound.
Despite the album’s overwhelming ferocity, Mantar also demonstrates a keen sense of dynamics and melody. Songs like ‘The Hint’ and ‘Born Reversed’ weave slower, more atmospheric sections into the chaos, providing a sense of depth and nuance to the album. These moments of respite allow the listener to catch their breath before being thrust back into the inferno.
